What is the filming all about?

The revived Poldark, starring Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson, returned to TV screens in 2015 and the fourth season of the show was shown in the summer on Sunday nights on BBC1.

Based on Winston Graham’s novels set in 18th century Cornwall the series had previously been adapted for the screen in the 1970s.

Filming kicked off in September after Poldark bosses confirmed series five will be the BBC One show’s final series.

Talking about the upcoming series writer Debbie Horsfield revealed it will be based between 1800 and 1810, which takes place in between Winston Graham’s seventh novel, The Angry Tide and The Stranger from the Sea.
